Expats’ Desires

Downturns

Expats’ Desires Another forty-sixer today! It makes me so apathetic and dozy. At two o’clock this afternoon I put my head down for forty winks and woke up three hours later! That’s not like me, I haven’t needed an afternoon…

Hundred Days

Hundred Days

Hundred Days Well, believe it or not, the Day of Merit (see yesterday’s post) has seemed to make people happier, despite the fact that one girl’s father has his ‘One Hundred Days’ today, although that is not necessarily a sad…

Merit or Tamboon in Thai

The Lek Series

Merit or Tamboon in Thai Today is a Day of Merit, or Tamboon in Thai, for our village. I don’t know how many they hold per annum, but I’m sure it’s more than one. The day before yesterday, it was…

Charisma

The Lek Series

Charisma Famous people, and by that I mean people you see in the press and on TV, are always banging on about the importance of charisma – star quality. You hear about it on all the ‘talent’ contests on TV…

Hung-over and Still Bored

The Lek Series

Hung-over and Still Bored Since it was our seventh wedding anniversary on Monday, I treated myself to a ‘pub crawl’ around the village. I put it in inverted commas because there are no pubs where we live and only six…

A Boring Sunday

The Lek Series

A Boring Sunday I really can’t understand Kobo’s attitude. I know they won’t write to me today because it’s Sunday, but they blocked selling Behind The Smile II for suspected ‘illegal activity’ yet haven’t answered any of my three emails…

Alzheimer’s and Book Reviews

The Lek Series

Alzheimer’s and Book Reviews Last night, my wife, Neem, came into my office quite agitated because our neighbour wants to build a wall blocking off the lane entrance. She had already had the materials delivered, but not consulted anyone. Neem…

Mobile Compatibility

Kindle Screen Size

  Mobile Compatibility I decided to check my main web site, this one, for mobile compatibility, ie with smaller devices – phones and tablets. Since it is using the latest version of WordPress, I was pretty sure that it would…

Watching Logs

Resources

  Watching Logs I think Amazon has stopped speaking to me. In their last email, two days ago, they said that if we vendors wanted our prices to take account of VAT, we would have to put our prices up…

Education

Gail Our Granddaughter Gail our granddaughter, came back today. She had been with her other grandparents since Thursday because we had to go to Naan on Friday and Neem had to go to Phitsanulok today. She is six months old,…
